My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote:

Many of us wonder why no one is “doing something” about the nightmare engulfing us all in the United States right now. I think I know why. Let me explain. It’ll take a minute. Grab some tea. Get cozy.

In the picture Yelich is I think 32, Uecker is 89. Yelich came to the team when he was 26. RATHER unusual for a young guy to look that proud to stand next to an old one, or for the old one to look so happy.
This is how Uecker was with all the players. His death made Willy Adames cry.

If you’re an immigrant with legal status who’s committed 0 crimes you can be sent to a torture prison where you’ll be raped and dehumanized.
If you’re old pals with Trump and ran a pedophile ring you get sent to a cushy minimum security prison despite being ineligible because you’re a sex offender.

I'm tellin ya. You may think I'm crazy for worrying about Trump stripping people of citizenship - and I hope I'm wrong - but there's a lot of things we couldn't imagine happening in the United States until they did.
"Reich citizenship will not be laid in the cradle of every one born in Germany, but will be ceremoniously conferred on him after he has shown himself worthy of it through special accomplishments, through loyal services to the State." NY Times, July 6, 1933.

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.
Trump declares war on cities
“We must expand efforts to detain & deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as LA, Chicago, & NY, where Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, & other Cities, are core of the Dem Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base”

If Joe Biden posted something like this Hannity would be roused from his sleep to anchor special coverage. But Trump posts apeshit conspiracy theories and the mainstream press yawns. His craziness has been completely normalized.

1. Pick up a roadkill bear from the side of the road and put it in their van to eat
2. Realize they could get in trouble for eating the bear
3. Leave it in Central Park to frame a cyclist for its murder

He wants to ship Americans to foreign prisons.
He’s using executive orders to go after ex-staff who dare to speak out.
He’s ignoring the Supreme Court.
This isn’t politics.
This is authoritarianism in real time. Wake up.
